Fruit color is an important horticultural trait, which greatly affects consumer preferences. In tomato, fruit determined by the accumulation of different pigments, such as carotenoids in pericarp and flavonoids peel, along with degradation chlorophyll during ripening. Since a multigenic it takes years to introgress all color-related genes single genetic background via traditional crossbreeding, avoidance linkage drag this process difficult. Here, we proposed rapid breeding strategy generate...
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are natural by products of cellular metabolism that were initially considered only deleterious towards the macromolecules. Research advances have broadened scope and now numerous studies available rendering ROS molecules essential for plants to combat several biotic abiotic stresses after being involved in defense mechanisms such as hypersensitivity reactions (HR) lead programmed cell death (PCD), wall reinforcement cross-linking glycoproteins with other...
SMALL AUXIN UP-REGULATED RNAs (SAURs) are recognized as auxin-responsive genes involved in the regulation of abiotic stress adaptive growth. Among growth-limiting factors, water-deficit condition significantly affects plant growth and development. The putative function SAUR family member AtSAUR32 has potential to diminish negative impact drought stress, but exact mode action remain unclear Arabidopsis. In current study, gene was cloned functionally analyzed. localized plasma membrane nucleus...
The dirigent (DIR and DIR-like) proteins involved in lignification, play a pivotal role against biotic abiotic stresses plants. However, no information is available about DIR gene family pepper (Capsicum annuum L.). In this study, 24 putative genes (CaDIRs) were identified, their structure, genome location, duplication phylogenetic relationship elucidated. Tissue-specific expression analysis displayed the highest transcription levels flower, stem leaf. Some CaDIRs up-regulated by virulent...
Calcineurin B-like proteins (CBLs) are major Ca2+ sensors that interact with CBL-interacting protein kinases (CIPKs) to regulate growth and development in plants. The CBL-CIPK network is involved stress response, yet little understood on how function pepper (Capsicum annuum L.), a staple vegetable crop threatened by biotic abiotic stressors.In the present study, nine CaCBL 26 CaCIPK genes were identified named based their chromosomal order. Phylogenetic structural analysis revealed clustered...
Cold stress is a serious threat to subtropical crop pollen development and induces yield decline. N6-methyladenosine (m 6 A) the most frequent mRNA modification plays multiple physiological functions in plant development. However, whether m A regulates unclear, its putative role cold response remains unknown. Here, we observed that moderate low-temperature (MLT) induced abortion tomato. This phenotype was caused by disruption of tapetum exine formation, accompanied reduced levels tomato...
Abstract Extreme temperature conditions seriously impair male reproductive development in plants; however, the molecular mechanisms underlying response of anthers to extreme temperatures remain poorly described. The transcription factor phytochrome-interacting factor4 (PIF4) acts as a hub that integrates multiple signaling pathways regulate thermosensory growth and architectural adaptation plants. Here, we report SlPIF4 tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) plays pivotal role regulating cold...
Isoalantolactone, a medicinal plant-derived natural compound, is known to induce apoptosis in various cancer cell lines. However, its effect on prostate cells has not been addressed. Thus, we examined the effects of isoalantolactone cells. It was found that inhibits growth both androgen-sensitive (LNCaP) as well androgen-independent (PC3 and DU-145) dose-dependent manner. Furthermore, our results indicate isoalantolactone-induced PC3 associated with generation ROS dissipation mitochondrial...
Biostimulants are the next-generation choice for sustainable agricultural production and gradually becoming an alternative to synthetic chemicals. Various botanicals proposed exert stimulatory effects, garlic allelochemicals among such botanicals; however, a peer-reviewed scientific evaluation is required understand garlic-derived substances as biostimulants. Current studies were therefore performed identify bioactivity of extract biostimulant improve crop quality, alter its physiological...
Recently, botanical extracts are gaining popularity as biostimulants in vegetable production. In present study, the effect of aqueous garlic bulb extract (AGE) was studied on growth and physiology eggplant grown plastic tunnel. AGE foliage sprayed with various frequencies, i.e., 0, S1 (once), S2 (twice) S3 (three times) at two independent stages, pre- post-transplant. The results showed that treated plants exhibited stimulatory responses accord repetition spray stages plants, respectively. A...
Pollen development is particularly susceptible to drought stress. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are known play a role in plant and responses However, the expression profile putative function of lncRNAs drought-induced male sterility remain largely unknown. In this study, we investigated lncRNA transcriptome landscape tomato anthers at early late stages-tetrad-vacuolated microspore (TED-VUM) binucleate-mature pollen (BIN-MP) anthers, respectively-in response stress using RNA-sequencing....
Abstract Plant height is a key agronomic trait regulated by several phytohormones such as gibberellins (GAs) and auxin. However, little known about how cytokinin (CK) participates in this process. Here, we report that SlRR6, type-A response regulator the CK signaling pathway, positively regulates plant tomato. SlRR6 was induced exogenous kinetin GA3, but inhibited indole-3-acetic acid (IAA). Knock out of reduced tomato through shortening internode length, while overexpression caused taller...
Salinity is one of the major obstacles in agriculture industry causing huge losses productivity. Several strategies such as plant growth regulators with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) have been used to decrease negative effects salt stress. In our experiment, 28-homobrassinolide (HBL) spraying intervals was combined AMF (Glomus versiforme) cucumber cultivars Jinyou 1# (salt sensitive) and (Changchun mici, short, CCMC, tolerant) under NaCl (100 mmol/L). Studies documented that foliar...
Anthracnose caused by Colletotrichum acutatum is one of the most devastating fungal diseases pepper (Capsicum annuum L.). The utilization chitin-binding proteins or chitinase genes best option to control this disease. A domain (CBD) has been shown be crucial for innate immunity plants and activates hypersensitive response (HR). CaChiIII7 gene identified isolated from plants. repeated CBDs that encode a enzyme transcriptionally stimulated C. infection. knockdown in confers increased...
